ISO 10140-5:2010(E) iv © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10140-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 2, Building acoustics.

The area of the test opening can vary depending on the type of test element. This part of ISO 10140 defines full-sized test openings, a specific small-sized test opening and alternative reduced-size test openings. For measurement of the improvement of sound reduction index by acoustical linings, these rooms shall be separated by a standard basic element on which the lining under test is installed (see Annex B). 3.2 Test rooms 3.2.1 Volume The volumes of the test rooms shall be at least 50 m3. Volumes and corresponding dimensions of the two test rooms should not be exactly the same. A difference of at least 10 % in room volumes and in the linear dimensions is recommended. Choose the ratios of the room dimensions such that the eigen mode frequencies in the low-frequency bands are spaced as uniformly as possible. When measuring the sound insulation of walls or floors, theoretical calculation as well as experiments have indicated that the test element should cover a total partition wall or ceiling of the test room, i.e. the test opening should extend from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling. In such a case, a volume of 50 m3 to 60
m3 is appropriate in view of the recommended size of the test opening. 3.2.2 Diffusion Large variations of the sound pressure level in the room indicate the presence of dominating strong standing waves. In this case, diffusing elements shall be installed in the rooms. The positioning and number of diffusing elements should be arranged in such a way that the sound reduction index is not influenced when further diffusing elements are installed. NOTE For some kinds of test element, as for elements with one surface significantly more absorbent than the other (see ISO 10140-2), the installation of diffusing elements is mandatory. SIST EN ISO 10140-5:2010
ISO 10140-5:2010(E) © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved 3 3.2.3 Reverberation time The reverberation time in the rooms under normal test conditions (with negligible absorption by the test element) should not be excessively long or short. When the reverberation time at frequencies at and above 100 Hz exceeds 2 s or is less than 1 s, check whether the measured sound reduction index depends on the reverberation time. When such a dependence is found, even with diffusers in the rooms, the rooms shall be modified to adjust the reverberation time, T, such that: ()2/312/50TVuu (1) where V is the value of the room volume, in cubic metres; T is the reverberation time, in seconds. Measurement of the reverberation time is given in ISO 10140-4. 3.2.4 Background noise The background noise level in the receiving room shall be sufficiently low to permit measurements of the sound transmitted from the source room, considering the power output in the source room and the sound insulation of the test elements for which the laboratory is intended (see ISO 10140-4:2010, 4.3). 3.2.5 Suppression of flanking transmission In laboratory test facilities designed for measuring the sound reduction index, the sound transmitted by any indirect path should be negligible compared with the sound transmitted through the test element. One approach to achieve this in such facilities is to provide sufficient structural isolation between source and receiving rooms. Another approach is to cover all surfaces of both rooms with linings that reduce the flanking transmission in such a way that the requirements on room volumes and reverberation times are still met. Annex A gives methods for estimating the maximum achievable sound reduction index, maxR′, which is determined by indirect paths. 3.3 Test opening A horizontal and a vertical full-sized test opening, as well as a specific vertical small-sized test opening are defined. Other reduced-size test openings may be applied under certain restrictions. 3.3.1 Full-sized test opening The area of the full-sized test opening shall be approximately 10 m2 for walls, and between 10 m2 and 20 m2 for floors, with the length of the shorter edge being not less than 2,3 m for both walls and floors. 3.3.1.1 General frame specification The measured sound reduction index of a test element can be affected by the connections to the laboratory structure surrounding the element. The mass ratio of the tested structure to the surrounding structure should be taken into consideration. For tests on lightweight structures (m < 150 kg/m2), there are no special requirements to be taken into account. For heavier structures under test, it should be ensured that the loss factor, η, of the test element is not less than that given by Equation (2): min0,30,01fη=+ (2) where f is the test frequency value, in hertz. SIST EN ISO 10140-5:2010
ISO 10140-5:2010(E) 4 © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved To check this requirement, use as the test element a brick or block wall having a mass of (400 ± 40) kg/m2 plastered on one side. Measurement of the loss factor is given in ISO 10140-4. 3.3.1.2 Specific requirements on the frame for lightweight twin-leaf partitions With lightweight twin-leaf partitions, the sound reduction index is affected by vibration transmission between the wall leaves via the frame of the test opening (see Figure 1). This is influenced by the mounting conditions in the laboratory test opening and by the material properties and dimensions of the frame(s). Vibration transmission between the coupled structures of the partition itself (e.g. common or coupled studs) is dependent on the specific construction of the partition and is a property of the test element itself. This vibration transmission is not treated in this part of ISO 10140. In order to improve the reproducibility of the sound reduction index between laboratories for walls, guidance is given for the mass per unit area of the frame of the test opening. If there is an acoustic break in the laboratory test opening, the frame on one side of that break should be considered. The mass per unit area of the frame shall be much larger than the mass per unit area of the heaviest leaf of the double partition. The ratio of the mass per unit area of the heaviest leaf of the double partition to that of the frame of the test opening shall be at least 1:6. The minimum thickness of the frame should be 100 mm and the minimum depth should be 200 mm. The frame shall have a density of at least 2 000 kg/m3. The cross-sectional surface mass shall be more than 450 kg/m2. In addition, the frame(s) shall consist of a homogeneous, massive construction, such as dense concrete or masonry. Wood or metal frames connecting the two leaves shall not be used. The surface mass per unit area is calculated from the density, ρ, and the thickness, t, of the elements, as shown in Figure 2, using Equations (3) and (4): LLLmtρ′= (3) where Lm′ is the mass per unit area of the test facility wall, in kilograms per square metre; ρL is the density of the test facility wall, in kilograms per cubic metre; tL is the thickness of the test facility wall, in metres. eeemtρ′= (4) where em′ is the mass per unit area of the element, in kilograms per square metre; ρe is the density of the element, in kilograms per cubic metre; te is the thickness of the element, in metres.

Reduced-size test openings are specified in ISO 10140-1 and ISO 10140-2. 3.3.3 Specific small-sized test opening Specific small-sized test openings are 1 250 mm in width and 1 500 mm in height, with an allowable tolerance on each dimension of ± 50 mm, preferably maintaining the same aspect ratio. The test opening has a maximum depth of 500 mm, with staggered niches with a reflective finish. The larger niche is 60 mm to 65 mm wider at the sides and the top only. The wall with the test opening is constructed from two walls of about equal thickness made of concrete, plastered bricks or similar material with a density of at least 1 800 kg/m3. The gap between the two walls is filled with mineral wool and shall be covered with an airtight reflecting material. This wall may be a filler wall in the full-sized test opening. A vertical and a horizontal section are shown in Figure 3 with a detail of the gap as an example of the test opening within the specifications given. The dimensions of the niches in the horizontal section shall be the same as in the vertical section. The minimum distance between the small-sized test opening and any wall, floor or ceiling of either room shall be 500 mm. The opening should not be symmetrical in the separating wall.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10140-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 2, Building
acoustics.
ISO 10140 consists of the following parts, under the general title Acoustics — Laboratory measurement of
sound insulation of building elements:
– Part 1: Test codes
– Part 2: Measurement of airborne sound insulation
– Part 3: Measurement of Impact sound insulation

ISO/DIS 10140-5
Introduction
ISO 140 is one of the basic series of standards in building acoustics. It currently has several parts describing
laboratory measurements, mounting conditions of test elements in the laboratory, and field measurements. To
improve the layout of Standards for laboratory measurements, to ensure consistency, and to simplify future
changes and additions, ISO/TC 43/SC 2 have created a new series of Standards, ISO 10140. The parts of
ISO 140 that are concerned with laboratory measurement of the acoustic performance of products (ISO 140-1,
-3, -6, -8, -10, -11, and -16) have been re-written and re-arranged with minimal alteration to the contents. The
new Standard, ISO 10140, consists of the parts stated in the Foreword.
ISO 10140-1 describes the test codes for elements and products, including specific requirements for
preparation, mounting, operating and test conditions for elements and products. In the future, Part 1 will be
updated in cooperation with the relevant product Technical Committees. ISO 10140-2 and ISO 10140-3
contain the general procedures for airborne and impact sound insulation measurements respectively and refer
to ISO 10104-4 and ISO 10140-5 where appropriate. For elements and products without a specific test code
described in ISO 10140-1 it is still possible to apply ISO 10140-2 and ISO 10140-3. ISO 10140-4 contains the
basic measurement techniques and processes. ISO 10140-5 contains the requirements on test facilities and
equipment.
In the future it will be possible to insert other measurement techniques and standards into this series, for
example, sound insulation measurement using intensity techniques (ISO 15186) and rainfall noise
measurement (ISO 140-18).

3 Laboratory test facilities for airborne sound insulation measurements
The laboratory test facility shall consist of two adjacent reverberant rooms with a test opening between them
in which the test element is inserted.
The area of the test opening can vary depending on the type of test element. This standard defines full-size
test openings, a specific small size test opening and alternative reduced size test openings.
For measurement of the improvement of sound reduction index by acoustical linings these rooms shall be
separated by a standard basic element on which the lining under test is installed (see Annex B).
3.1 Test rooms
3.1.1 Volume
3
The volumes of the test rooms shall be at least 50 m . Volumes and corresponding dimensions of the two test
rooms should not be exactly the same. A difference in room volumes and/or in the linear dimensions of at
least 10% is recommended.
Choose the ratios of the room dimensions so that the mode frequencies in the low-frequency bands are
spaced as uniformly as possible.
NOTE When measuring the sound insulation of walls or floors, theoretical calculation as well as experiments have
indicated that the test element should cover a total partition wall or ceiling of the test room, i.e. the test opening should
3
3
extend from wall to wall and/or from floor to ceiling. In such a case, a volume of 50 m to 60 m is appropriate in view of
the recommended size of the test opening.
3.1.2 Diffusion
Large variations of the sound pressure level in the room indicate the presence of dominating strong standing
waves. In this case it is necessary to install diffusing elements in the rooms. The positioning and number of
diffusing elements should be arranged so that the sound reduction index is not influenced when further
diffusing elements are installed.
NOTE For some kind of test elements the installation of diffusing elements is mandatory, as for elements with one
surface being significantly more absorbent than the other; see ISO/DIS 10140-2.
3.1.3 Reverberation time
The reverberation time in the rooms under normal test conditions (with negligible absorption by the test
element) should not be excessively long or short. When the reverberation time at frequencies at and above
100 Hz exceeds 2 s or is less than 1 s, check whether the measured sound reduction index depends on the
reverberation time. When such a dependence is found, even with diffusers in the rooms, the room shall be
modified to adjust the reverberation time, T, such that

ISO/DIS 10140-5
where
V is the value of the room volume, in cubic meters;
T is the reverberation time, in seconds.
For measurement of the reverberation time see ISO/DIS 10140-4:2008.
3.1.4 Background noise
The background noise level in the receiving room shall be sufficiently low to permit measurements of the
sound transmitted from the source room, considering the power output in the source room and the sound
insulation of the test elements for which the laboratory is intended (see ISO/DIS 10140-4:2008, 4.3).
3.1.5 Suppression of flanking transmission
In laboratory test facilities for measuring the sound reduction index, the sound transmitted by any indirect path
should be negligible compared with the sound transmitted through the test element. One approach to achieve
this in such facilities is to provide sufficient structural isolation between source and receiving room. Another
approach would be to cover all surfaces of both rooms with linings that reduce the flanking transmission in
such a way that the requirements on room volumes and reverberation times are still met.
Methods for the estimation of the maximum achievable sound reduction index R’ , which is determined by
max
indirect paths are given in Annex A.
3.2 Test opening
A horizontal and a vertical full-size test opening is defined as well as a specific vertical small size test opening.
Other reduced size test openings may be applied under certain restrictions.
3.2.1 Full size test opening
2 2 2
The area of the full-size test opening shall be approximately 10 m for walls, and between 10 m and 20 m for
floors, with the length of the shorter edge not less than 2,3 m for both walls and floors.
3.2.1.1 General frame specification
The measured sound reduction index of a test element can be affected by the connections to the laboratory
structure surrounding the element. The mass ratio of the tested structure to the surrounding structure should
2
be taken into consideration. For tests on lightweight structures (m < 150 kg/m ) there are no special
requirements to be taken into account. For heavier structures under test it should be ensured that the loss
factor, η, of the test element is not less than
0,3
η = 0,01+
(2)
min
f
where
f is the value of test frequency, in Hertz.
2
To check this requirement, use a brick or block wall having a mass of (400 ± 40) kg/m plastered on one side
as the test element. For measurement of the loss factor see ISO/DIS 10140-4:2008.

oSIST prEN ISO 10140-5:2009
ISO/DIS 10140-5
3.2.1.2 Specific requirements on the frame for lightweight twin leaf partitions
With lightweight twin leaf partitions, the sound reduction index is affected by vibration transmission between
the wall leaves via the frame of the test opening, see Figure 1. This is influenced by the mounting conditions in
the laboratory test opening and by the material properties and dimensions of the frame(s). Vibration
transmission between the coupled structures of the partition itself (e.g. common or coupled studs) is
dependent on the specific construction of the partition and is a property of the test element itself. This vibration
transmission is not treated in this Standard.
In order to improve the reproducibility of the sound reduction index between laboratories for walls, guidance is
given for the mass per unit area of the frame of the test opening. In case there is an acoustic break in the
laboratory test opening, the frame at one side of that break is to be considered. The mass per unit area of the
frame shall be much larger than the mass per unit area of the heaviest leaf of the double partition. The ratio of
the mass per unit area of the heaviest leaf of the double partition to that of the frame of the test opening shall
be at least 1:6. The minimum thickness of the frame should be 100 mm and the minimum depth should be
3
200 mm. The frame shall have a density of at least 2 000 kg/m . The cross-sectional surface mass shall be
2
more than 450 kg/m . In addition, the frame(s) shall consist of a homogeneous, massive construction such as
dense concrete or masonry. Wood or metal frames connecting the two leaves shall not be used.
The surface mass per unit area is calculated from the density, ρ, and the thickness, t, of the elements as
shown in Figure 2 using the equations (3) and (4).
